Gyros

1 lb. ground lamb( can use 1/2 ground beef)(0)

1/2 C. very finely chopped (or shredded) onion(7)

2 tsp. fresh minced garlic(1)

3/4 tsp. salt (preferably sea salt)(0)

1/2 tsp. dried ground marjoram(0)

1/2 tsp. dried ground rosemary(0)

1/4 tsp. black pepper(0)

Mix everything together and let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Blend in a food processor for about 1 minute. (When cooked, this will help give it a more traditional gyro feel on your palate. Otherwise, it just takes like cooked minced meat.)

Form into an oblong around a spit, and slow cook over a grill for around 30-45 minutes, cooking far from the coals, and rotating slowly. Alternatively, bake in the oven in a meatloaf shape for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, at 325ºF. It should be a bit dry.

Tzatziki Sauce

16 oz Sour Cream (20)

1 cucumber which has been peeled and descended and grated and drained of extra liquid, (8)

2-4 cloves of fresh minced garlic (3)

(Traditionally plain yogurt is used instead of sour cream)

Mix together, and let sit in fridge until ready to use. This is an extremely traditional recipe, and might be a bit sharp for the average American palate, so you might want to halve the garlic amount.

Pumpkin Rum Mousse

Number of Servings: Eight

2/3 cups Splenda (16)

4 Eggs (1.2)

In a second bowl, combine and mix pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and mace. Combine the rum gelatin and the egg mixtures, stirring well. Gently add in the heavy cream.

Pour into small serving dishes. (Or, pour into glass baking dish)

Refrigerate for several hours until firm or overnight.

Decorate with whipped Cream and nuts.

Veggie/Meat Casserole Low carb

Pour into very large bowl:

1 lb. bag of green beans, thawed (may vary)

1 lb. bag of broccoli, thawed (may vary)

2 lbs. cooked meat (hot dogs, browned ground meat, ham, sausage or chicken or any

combination)

Mix together:

1 1/4 cup sour cream

1 1/4 mayonnaise

1/4 to 1/2 cup cream or half and half

1 cup shredded cheese (of any kind - I usually use cheddar)

2 TBS. onion soup mix

1 small jar of pimentos or chopped red or green peppers

Pour the sour cream/mayo mixture into the veggie/meat mixture and toss until

thoroughly combined. Top with generous shakes parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees in 3 qt. covered casserole for about an hour.

When bubbly, remove cover and brown for another 10-15 minutes.

This makes quite a large casserole. It is rich and creamy.

You can easily make a half recipe.

You can vary this quite a bit by using different meats or veggies.

You can also vary the flavor by using different cheeses and

by replacing the onion soup mix with another type of flavoring.

I often cook it in several smaller dishes and freeze. Or divide a

large one into several portions and freeze.

Myra's New York-Style Cheesecake

Crust:

1 1/4 cups finely ground almonds OR other nuts

Sweetener equal to 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping:

2 cups sour cream (16 oz. container)

1 teaspoon vanilla

Sweetener equal to 1 tablespoon sugar

Filling:

3 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened

Sweetener equivalent to 1 cup sugar

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

In a bowl, combine the almonds, 1 tablespoon

sweetener and melted butter

until combined. Press into bottom of a 9-inch

springform pan. Chill in the

refrigerator at least 15 minutes. (I had to cook

mine for about 15 mins at

350)

In a bowl, mix the sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla

and 1 tablespoon sweetener

until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and

refrigerate.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup

sweetener until fluffy. Add

the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each

addition. Blend in the

remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour the cream cheese

mixture into the

springform pan, and bake at 350 degree for 50

minutes, or until a knife

inserted halfway between the edge and center comes

clean.

With a spatula, spread the sour cream mixture over

the top, making sure you

reach to the edges of the pan. Return cake to oven

and bake an additional 5

minutes.

Remove cake from oven, allow to cool to room

temperature (cake will settle in

the pan). Slide a knife around the edge of the

cake to loosen it, then

remove the springform ring. Keep chilled in the

refrigerator.

Makes 16 servings, about 5 grams of carbs per

serving if made with almonds

1 cup of blueberries/rasberries is 12 carbs with fiber deducted. . . I only

use about less than 1/4 cup. . . . adds lots of flavor.

Fauxtatoes

1 head of cauliflower

3 oz. cream cheese

1 tbs. butter

salt/pepper to taste

Cook cauliflower till very tender.

Remove from water, add everything else- mash!

I put mine in the blender for real creamy consistency- but you could just

mash them or run them through a food processor.

I also boiled the cauliflower with a clove of garlic, just for some more

flavor..but you could put in anything really that you might like in mashed

potatoes.

I guess you could even add cheddar to the "potatoes" afterwards.

Pour into

sprayed pie plate (I use a deep dish pie plate) and bake at 375 degrees for

about 45 minutes. To test, insert table knife in center. If it is clean

when you pull it out, it is done. I let it cool for 15 minutes in the

'turned off' oven. Remove and cool. Serve with whipped cream and a

Individual Strawberry Cheesecake

2 packages cream cheese

1 package sugarfree French vanilla pudding (or reg van.)

1 cup cream

1 cup cold water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

14 frozen strawberries

sweetener

Mix the first 5 ingredients until light and fluffy. You might want to

taste and see if you want more sweetener. I thought it was just right.

Next take an Ice Cream scoop and start scooping nice perfect scoops

and put on plates. Put the plates in the freezer until scoops are

frozen. I got 14 scoops out of it. Put scoops in freezer bags.

To use: Take out 1 scoop per person and place in pretty bowls.

Place one strawberry on each and sprinkle with 1 packet sweetner.

When this defrosts, it weeps a little which is perfect because it

mixes with the defrosting strawberry and I just smash the strawberry

and mix with the juices and "Wa La" A delicious strawberry

cheesecake!

The carb count was almost 80 grams(almost 6 grams per serving)

because I used the cheap cream and cream cheese. You can cut the

grams down by almost half if you invest in the lower carb count

products.

Great with fresh cut strawberries and whipped heavy whipping cream on top

Cheesecake Brownies

by Jean Vander Wert

Brownie ingredients:

1 stick butter (0)

1 1/2 c Splenda (36)

5 eggs (3)

1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring or extract

1/2 c cream (3.3)

2 c almond flour (34)

2 T Droste cocoa (4)

Cream Cheese Topping:

16 oz. cream cheese, softened (14)

2 eggs (1.2)

1/2 c Splenda (12)

1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring or extract

Combine brownie ingredients and spread in 9 x 13 pan.

For topping, mix eggs, Splenda and vanilla. Gradually add cream cheese

until smooth. Spread or spoon on top of brownie mixture. Bake at 350 for

30 minutes.

The last time I made this I added a scoop (maybe 1/4 cup) of vanilla protein

powder to the base. That turned out great too. But if you really need a

chocolate fix, you might want to double the amount of chocolate and count

the carbs because as written it is a milk chocolate rather than dark

chocolate taste. I'm not sure how many carbs the vanilla would add, but the

rest of the recipe is 107.5 carbs. I don't recall if that was including or

not including fiber. But if you cut them into 20 bars, it would be about

5.5 per brownie. Keep them in the refrigerator and warm them up in the

microwave. Finally, get out the cream whipper

and add a little decadence.

Gabi's Bread (newest recipe)

2 pkgs dry yeast

1 tsp sugar

1-cup water (warm but not warmer than 110 degrees)

3 TBSP Olive Oil

2 Eggs

1 1/3 C Vital Wheat Gluten Flour

1/3 C Oat Flour

1/3 C Soy Flour (can use oat or nut flour instead)

1/4 C Flaxseed Meal

1/4 C unprocessed wheat bran (or flaxseed meal)

1 tsp salt

1 TBSP Splenda

1 1/2 TBSP Baking Powder Add spices if you like.

If you have a bread machine, follow those directions

to add ingredients to the pan. Otherwise, put water,

sugar and yeast in the bottom of your bread machine

pan. Mix all other dry ingredients in a bowl and add

to machine. Add remaining ingredients, and set to

quick bake cycle. When the bread is through the first

knead cycle, remove the dough from the machine and

remove the kneading paddle, return the dough to the

machine and let it complete the baking cycle.

Now, if you want 2 loafs instead of one, with half the

carbs per serving (a little more than one per 1/2 inch

slice), take the dough out of the machine after it's

done kneading the first time. Divide the dough in to

2 equal parts. Set them into individual loaf pans and

let them rise covered with a linen kitchen towel for

45 minutes before baking them at 380 degrees for 25-35

minutes.

You can also bake 1 loaf in oven and 1 in bread

machine, but reduce oven time by 5 minutes......

CHOCOLATE CAKE

1 cup soy flour

1 cup Splenda

1 to 2 T cocoa, depending how chocolatey you like it

1 ½ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

3 TBLS sour cream

½ c vegetable oil

¼ cup water

¼ cup whipping cream

¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Mix flour, Splenda, baking powder, cocoa and set aside

Beat eggs until light yellow in color, about 2 minutes. Add sour cream,

whipping ream and water, and blend until mixed. Stir in flour mixture,

with the vegetable oil. Add vanilla, mix until all incorporated.

Grease a 9" square pan. Pour batter into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for

20-25 minutes.

Serve with Dr Atkins ice cream, whipped cream. Or the following

frosting. Without frosting the whole cake has about 35 grams of

carbohydrates.

I like the cake the way it is without any frosting it is very moist.

But for real cake and frosting lovers, I developed this frosting for my

father who is a diabetic and with a few changes made it for us low

carbohydrates eaters. Optional frosting. Take 1 and ½ cups of Splenda

and place in a food processor. Process it, until it resembles powdered

sugar. Mix in 1 to 2 TBLS cocoa, and set aside. Take ½ cup of cold

butter and beat in a mixing bowl, about 3 minutes. Gradually add the

Splenda Mixture. Beat until smooth and spreadable. If it is a little

stiff, add a few drops of whipping cream. If too thin add a little more

processed Splenda. Add 1 t vanilla flavoring. Spread on cooled cake.

Store in refrigerator.
